As I wrote in my last blog post, my thesis advisor and committee chair Joan passed away in December. Since then, I have not chosen a new advisor nor have I been assigned one as of yet. I spoke to the 2nd member of my committee and the anthropology department grad advisor and she asked me to send her a draft with what I have done so far. Then, they can decide which professor would be the appropriate choice based on how stats heavy my research might be. (It's not stats heavy, but there are enough.) That panicked motivated me to write and I sent in a VERY rough draft last Friday. I haven't heard back from her yet. She's probably trying to figure out something, anything nice to say.
I've been working on organizing my sources. I have this little table next to my desk that I keep all my reference material on. I like to print out articles (yes, I am a tree killer, but I promise I will never throw them away.) so I can make notes on them directly. I have one binder for articles and one for drafts, stats, outlines etc.
I discovered that I somehow deleted my working bibliography from Zotero (my research organization software). I still can't figure out how I did that. I have a print copy of it and I cite as I go, so it's not too big of a deal, it's just annoying.
While I was organizing, I found a photo from one of the last days of data collection in my thesis folder. I think it was raining that day.***
I also found this...
My daughter (15 years old) wanted to go somewhere, but I had to work on my thesis data collection. She told me she'd finish my thesis for me. "There, it's done."
Yay! It needs a little editing, but it looks good to me. :)
